Organisation Background
The Akanksha Foundation is a 30+ year old non-profit organization with the mission to build cutting-edge schools that will empower children & young adults from underserved communities and influence the ecosystem. Akanksha supports 15,000 plus students through the formal-school education program and 5,800alumni from low-income backgrounds. Our 28 English-medium schools run in partnership with municipal corporations in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. We provide students from underserved communities a high-quality, holistic education at no cost. Our aim is to give students the knowledge, skills, and values they need to lead empowered lives, maximize their potential and break out of the cycle of poverty.
With a vision to scale our impact we codified our practices and, in 2022, joined forces with Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation to take these practices to nearly 200 public schools under 'Project Setu'.
